Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Choreographer Alwin Nikolais' 1968 masterpiece Tent highlights this evening's eye-popping selections that will tantalize the imaginations of children and adults. Tent features the team of dancers performing amidst a gigantic piece of fabric measuring 36 x 28 feet in a circus-like atmosphere. With each movement, the dancers encounter a new environment from caves to cocoons, canopies and veils as the fabric morphs around them. Magical lighting and Nikolais' electronic score enhance the imagery as dancers move through the transforming spaces created by the tent. The company will also perform recreations of Nikolais' historic Imago and Tencil Involvement dances. Performed by the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company. 'I do not believe there is a more beautiful, original or imaginative flight…than Tent. The action of tent is a parade of theatrical marvels…Nikolais is a genius.' - John Percival, The Times London Edition The recreation of Tent was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces: Dance initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
